Where did you live? I had the exact opposite experience, but I stayed out of the populated areas like Negril and Mo Bay. I found the Jamaican countryside to be filled with extremely friendly, hospitable people. We were invited into people's homes repeatedly for dinner and hanging out. We had a great time.
That being said, we were in an area that prides itself on community-sponsored tourism and strives to keep out the beggary and hassle that you encounter in places like Negril.
